Hey Joe,
Let us know how it comes out. I am not putting foubt on your project.
Just wanting to confirm mine. When we did the engine on the 82 Concord
wagon, 5 speed, we did all the replacing and ordered out a new clutch and
pressure plate kit. Hadda do a LOT of searching to find the right one,
and did through a company ordering it out of MO. It took a couple months
to put together and when we did and got in and pushed in the clutch to
start, it went to the floow.
My bud is automatic guy and when we were assembling I noticed the pressure
plate fingers compressing, but could not remember if that was a good sign
or not, well not. So we searched around and fould a local place that does
the same thing and my bud came back with the same thing. Better looking
than new my original clutch and pressure plate. ($120, but had spent $270
on the kit)
When I first went out the drive releasing the clutch, it chattered and
still does. A month or so later in delivering business cards to my
transmsiion company friends, I asked them about the chatter. They asked
IF I used a rebuilt clutch set and did. They installed 3 of those in the
past and each one chatteres, so they don't do the rebuild way anymore.
I also had the flywheel turned by local auto shop fanatics, so I know all
was perfect going in, just annoyed with the chatter. Sadly it will still
last, just chatter. I HOPE this isn't the case, but when I read this, I
just wondered... Good Luck!
Blessings,
Richard

I sent the 9-inch clutch from my 64 Classic to Tennessee Clutch in
Nashville, TN
a week ago today.?? They got it on Tuesday and Randall called me to say
they
could refurb it for me.? The total would be $55.? Of course I had to pay
postage
both days.? I got it back today and it looks too good to put back in the
car.??
The pressure plate looks brand new?.?? I had asked for them to put a
clutch
alignment tool in the box and I would pay for it.? He said no charge.??
They not
only but the little splined tool in there but they?inlcuded a Hastings
clutch
tool which I don't even know how to use right now.?
I sent the pressure plate and the disk.? The disk I got back looks like
brand
new.? I have not installed anything yet but will do it in the next few
days.?? I
am very pleased.? Tennessee Clutch and Supply, Nashville, TN is the
place.??
I had the flywheel machined at an auto machine shop in Gilroy, CA and have
a
cleaned and painted bellhousing and new throwout bearing so I guess I'm
ready to
do some reassembly.?I pulled the?top cover off of the T-95/overdrive
tranny and
it looks brand new inside.??It has been rebuilt in the past I think
because it
has an odd color blue paint on it.?? ?It will be nice to take another step
forward with this 64 Classic which I saved from the crusher a few years
ago.??
